    We're not tribal. Human beings are not tribal. That's not what 'nation-states' are. A tribe is like a relatively small unit, where you know everyone in the tribe, or kind of do, and it's sort of an extended family that you can turn to for actual real help in the real world, because a small nuclear family is a terrible institution, and why would you ever limit your day to day existence to such a small group of immediate-family blood relations for a whole host of reasons. And so a numerically larger but still pretty small tribe is just better. Nations or countries are totally dissimilar, and the only thing holding them together is the same language, and some of the particular, familiar cultural quirks, as well as the brute force of law/violence, and mere practical necessity and inertia. But it exists mainly for the dominant group to be able to exploit the masses, by way of slavery or serfdom or high taxes. And is a completely made up invention that is not like a tribe at all. And people are not tribal at all. Other than being social animals, and not loners like cheetahs, who are born into a local society that's typically part of an official country, and being relentlessly indoctrinated, mainly because there would be no instinct to be 'tribal' without all that indoctrination, and so the elite class would not be able to dominate and exploit the poor as easily without that mother of all social constructs. So we are definitely not 'tribal'.....

    Human mass on earth = 36% Domesticated land mammal mass = 60% Wild mammal mass on land = 4% 10,000 years ago there were 1500 pounds of wild mammals per human on this planet… in the year 1800 there were 200 pounds of wild mammal per human on this planet… Today there is 5 pounds of wild mammal per human on this planet… This is largely due to human overpopulation… This is ecocide. The number one thing that any one person can do to address the worldwide meta-crisis, is to support a voluntary reduction of the human population. We need a 25% ecological footprint tax for the richest 1% of the world to hire the appropriate medical staff, and set up mobile units that could go to communities around the world, paying people to get sterilized. Organizations, such as the nonprofit#WorldVasectomyDayWouldBeIdeal. When considering, renewable energy options to mitigate the suffering caused by our predicament… Don’t believe the bright green lies! There is nothing renewable about so-called “renewable energy“. “Green energy solutions”, are replaceable at best. The mining, and extractive industries. cause significant ecological damage. Energy powers ecological devastation independent of its source. If human beings actually had an endless source of free clean green energy… Which does not exist it would only fuel the acceleration of the destruction of the biosphere. Deforestation, ocean depletion, habitat loss, over exploitation, desertification, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, groundwater depletion, overpopulation, rampant pollution, and the six mass extinction would all continue to accelerate. This is not a supply problem… It’s a demand problem! Fewer humans equals less suffering for all life on earth! We really need to promote government and nonprofit funded vasectomies and tubal ligations. I realize that it is unlikely that governments will pass a tax on the rich to pay for voluntary sterilization, and you may not be able to contribute, or participate in a nonprofit that funds voluntary sterilization. However, you can discuss with others whether it is ethical to bring a child onto a planet in the midst of ecological overshoot. We can talk about the ways that we can mitigate suffering, or people can stay silent, remain ignorant, live in denial, continue to celebrate procreation, and contribute to the suffering. We can either reduce our population by choice… Or we can let nature do it in her unmerciful way… it’s biology 101… A life that is never brought into existence, is a life that will not have to suffer the unequivocal impending collapse.

    I can't respect anyone who talks about protecting environment and then outsources its manufacturing in Asian countries, puts their logo on it, and then prices its products 10x for the bigger profit. How is even possible to have over 100 million dollars in profit of a billion dolar revenue if you are environmentally aware? You should serve if you claim that you love what you do, and not rake in big profits. Many people love what they do and none of them are millioners, let alone billioners.

    I have Often Wondered. Did Diana Save all the Books 📚 her Uncle Had. I hope Somebody Did. Don’t put them in a Library. For they might get Burned. By you know Who. Just like Library of Alexandria. And others. 😳😳🤔. I grew up on a Farm in Ireland. A Family of 10 children. One died @ 6 weeks old. Because of the German Drug THOLIDAMIDE 😳. How wonderful it was twords Today. Lack of Too Much Education Actually Saved Me. Why. My parents wanted me to go to Boarding school anywhere in Ireland or England. But I didn’t want to. I wanted to go to Technical school. Learn. Woodworking/ Metalworking/. & Technical Drawing ✍️. Glad I did. I made a few mistakes in my Life. Learned from that. Books Galore I could Write. ✍️. So could Everyone Else. 🤔. I Truly Believe if I did go to Boarding School. I would have been Totally INSTATUTIONALIZED in the Sad System. Qualified as a Doctor/ Solicitor. Bla Bla. The would have Put Letters after my Name. MD. etc. why. Because I would have Truely Become. An Ordained Pupil in their System. I have the Freedom from that. 😂😂🤪. Freedom to be Inquisitive in all aspects of my Surroundings. Diana/ Gary Null/ Chris Hedges/ Naomi Wolfe/ & Many others. Not Controlled By the Dollar Kabal. 😳. I’m now Living the Simple Life. In the Beautiful Countryside of Pennsylvania. Rent & Mortgage Free. 4 Fertile Acres with a River/ Creek flowing at rear of the property. A Simple Ranch house. 3bed 2 bath etc. and an old Country store also my man den & workshop. Free enough to be able to be more Inquisitive. Seek you will Find. Visualize & you will Actualize. All is Energy. Live Long & Prosper. In the Wealth of Health. 😳😳🤔👍

    32:10 Discussion about the relative expense between coal-fired and renewable energy... Remember this interview was in 2009. But in more recent years, coal energy is actually more expensive that solar or wind energy. Why is this? Because coal is a fuel, and wind/solar are energy transformers. You can only get so efficient at digging and transporting coal; but wind/solar technologies can be increasingly improved. So on the plus side, emerging economies would not, should not, give a second thought to coal.
